V Jump is a video game magazine, mostly for the series Dragon Quest (artwork done by Akira Toriyama, author of Dragon Ball) and the Final Fantasy series, as well as many Shōnen manga.
V Jump has also taken many series from Weekly Shōnen Jump, the series Shadow Lady created by Masakazu Katsura. The series has had more success than ever in the V Jump magazine. Later on, the magazine published sequels to the Weekly Jump series Dr. Slump, Dr. Slump appeared on the first issue of V Jump.
